Cluster nodes (as described in this book) should run the lpd daemon. Cluster nodes will first spool print jobs locally to their local hard drives and then try (essentially, forever) to send the print jobs to a central print spooler that is also running the lpd daemon. See Chapter 19 for a discussion of the LPRng printing system. netfs Cluster nodes, as described in this book, will need to connect to a central file server (or NAS device) for lock arbitration. See Chapter 16 for a more detailed discussion of NFS.

D/rc script) should run each time the runlevel of the system changes and that init should pass a single character argument consisting of the runlevel number (0 through 6) to the rc program. d directory. The default runlevel, the runlevel for normal server operation, is defined in the /etc/inittab file on the initdefault line: id:3:initdefault: NOTE Use the runlevel command to see the current runlevel. The default runlevel for a Red Hat Linux server that is not running a graphical user interface is runlevel 3.

This is true for the default “filter” table. However, iptables can also use the “mangle” table that uses the PREROUTING and OUTPUT chains, or the “nat” table, which uses the PREROUTING, OUTPUT, and POSTROUTING chains. The “mangle” table is discussed in Chapter 14. 4 series kernel reflects a trend toward simplifying the sets of rules, or chains, to make the kernel more stable and the Netfilter code more sensible. With ipchains or iptables commands (these are command-line utilities), we can use the three chains to control which packets get into the system, which packets are forwarded, and which packets are sent out without worrying about the specific Netfilter hooks involved—we only need to remember when these rules are applied.
